Lou Piniella took the spot he'd hoped for in 2007.

Joe Girardi has decided to stay off the field for a year and spend next season as a broadcaster, a person familiar with the situation told Newsday today.
The YES Network is believed to be one of his broadcasting options.
Girardi, fired by the Marlins after one year as manager because of disputes with ownership, pulled himself out of contention for the Nationals' manager opening on Monday. He was seen a logical candidate to join the Yankees coaching staff in some capacity for next season, but instead prefers a year away from the field.
"I loved managing. I loved it," he said Tuesday. "It's a wonderful job. I do want to manage again."
It is debatable if he was really as good as he was made out to be... I think there is another thread where we discussed the downside of Girardi as manager...
